"……This is how to do ah."
Sun Yun woke up at year 10,241 on the perpetual calendar.
She was among the last people to wake up.
With a watch time of 10,300 years, a total of 1.5 million thousand-year maintenance personnel, the earliest and last batches of personnel, they are all the elites among the elites, selected among 1.5 million people. Those who come out with the most outstanding abilities, the strongest will, and the most perfect intentions. Even if these people are placed in the lunar human society, they will be highly paid and highly qualified talents.
When Sun Yun regained consciousness, a physical examination confirmed that she was already seventy-three years old.
And she, and the thousands of people who woke up with her, are the last group of people, and after them there will no longer be any maintenance personnel who are still dormant and sleeping.
This itself should not be done and is impossible!
There is actually a surplus of 1.5 million people. According to strict calculations by experts, by the end of the last 10,300 years, there were still about 10,000 to 15,000 people as back-up people. They It is possible to return to the moon alive, even if your black hair has turned gray when you come back, this is still a hope.
But now there are still fifty-nine years left before the 10,300th year, and they are the last batch of maintenance personnel. This means that there will be no maintenance personnel for at least more than thirty years, or even more than forty years. exist.
How can this be done! ?
Sun Yun met with all the maintenance workers, and she discovered that their group of people did not even have more than 6,000 people, but only more than 4,900 people, close to 5,000 people.
And she is considered the younger one among them, and there are a few who are too old to walk.
Judging from the physical age of these people, they can live for up to twenty years before they are able to survive. For example, Sun Yun herself, her current physical age is seventy-three years old, and she will be ninety-three if she lives for twenty years. , at that time, every year of life was a stroke of luck. Even if she could live to be a hundred years old, she would not be able to live to be a hundred and ten or a hundred and twenty years old, right?
"It can be known from the diary and the large group of records that a contained object appeared in the year 5827 of the perpetual calendar. It was a strange object like a turning gear, called the Endless Roulette."
"Every ten years there is an Endless Roulette Screening, with twenty people at a time, then there is a Carnival every hundred years, and there is a Grand Carnival every thousand years."
"Judging from the description, an ordinary endless roulette only requires twenty people to participate, and basically there won't be any problems. Some people even received a lifespan reward for it... Is this considered a reward?"
"But the carnival that happens once every hundred years will start to have dead people, but the carnival itself is pretty good."
"Only the great carnival that happens once in a thousand years is a time of despair. Judging from the records, there was a record of two consecutive massacres of more than 6,000 people in that generation. After that, many people died in every great carnival... The diary and The mass murderer Zhang Hanqi was recorded in the group, saying that he single-handedly helped to get through several major carnivals, but died during the last major carnival. Was this a secret combatant sent by the government? "
"It is precisely because of the containment of the Endless Roulette that too many maintainers died in the past, so we are all awakening now... fifty-nine years before the return. There will be no more after us. Any maintenance man."
"What should we do with the remaining thirty or forty years of blank time!?"
This is the most urgent matter before Sun Yun and the others.
Different from those otakus who came to hang out, Sun Yun and the others, as well as the previous batches like Ye Xingxun, really have a strong sense of honor and ability to act. After confirming When the time was wrong, they did not sit back and wait, but started working immediately.
On the one hand, they try their best to maintain and repair various systems in the space ring; on the other hand, they try every means to solve the problem of the blank period after their death.
Maintenance and repairs are easy to solve. Although they are all white-haired old men, with the help of nano-exoskeleton armor, there is no problem in performing maintenance and repair operations. But what about the blank time after their death?
Eventually they came up with a solution that wasn't a solution.
Then enter the maintenance cabin and redistribute the remaining fifty-nine years. Considering that they currently have nearly five thousand people, they will wake up the next batch of more than eight hundred people every ten years. This should barely be able to maintain the number of ten thousand people. Three hundred years deadline.
But there is a problem here, that is, there is not enough manpower. The complete maintenance staff configuration is more than 6,000 people. Each person can complete the patrol and maintenance after working three to four hours a day. If there are only more than 800 people, then each person Working twenty-four hours a day is not enough to complete patrol maintenance.
Even if the workload is reduced, everyone must work fourteen to sixteen hours a day just to do simple patrol and maintenance. This is simply impossible for an old man in his seventies or eighties!
"...Do you think the companion robot can assist us in patrol and maintenance?" Sun Yun said suddenly.
Everyone looked at her in surprise.
Sun Yun said in a matter-of-fact tone: "Do you really just think that these companion robots are so-called toys? Or are they used to relieve loneliness? No, these robots are actually one of the highest technological achievements of us humans, regardless of internal The processor, its material, and its program are all epoch-making products in the Earth Era. They have the most basic cognition and judgment. Although they do not yet belong to the category of intelligence and life, they are not simple instructions. program!"
"And in Daqun's records and those diaries, didn't they mention the two companion robots of the killer Zhang Hanqi? It was said that he transformed the two robots into killing weapons and killed monsters with him. Finally, after his death , the two robots were waiting directly next to his body freezing chamber, completely ignoring the instructions of the others, which already has some real artificial intelligence implications. "
The crowd was silent at first, and then cheered.
This idea can be implemented!
"I can modify simple programs and input maintenance and repair procedures for them. No, maybe they have their own maintenance and repair procedures!"
"Yes, companion robots, although experts have repeatedly warned them before, and have built-in sleep shutdown attributes in their underlying structures, they will only accompany their people for a period of time, and then the program will be locked, and human civilization must return. Unlocked, but it is written in the diary that in order to fight against the Endless Roulette Carnival, Zhang Hanqi transformed a batch of companion robots and unlocked their program locks!"
"Go and find all the companion robots whose programs have been unlocked, and call out all the companion robots we belong to, and ask them if they have maintenance skills, and ask them if they are willing to help us protect them. This space ring!”
"Everyone, take action. This is a matter of life and death for mankind and cannot be ignored!"
These people are all elites and activists. Soon, they found all the companion robots that can move. Not counting their respective companion robots, there are a total of 1,800 free robots. There are many robots, these are all robots that Zhang Hanqi modified and released from shutdown mode.
It's just that the eyes of these robots are dull and they don't say a word when facing this group of humans, just like when they are turned off or on standby.
Everyone was a little timid. They were also afraid of the so-called omnic crisis, but Sun Yun was bold. She walked directly past everyone and came to the front and said, "Can you hear me?"
The eyes of many robots were still dull, but Sun Yun didn't care. She continued: "Logically speaking, you have not entered standby or shut down. You can hear me and understand what I am saying... Then , can we talk about it?"
She did not wait for an answer, but continued: "We... humans are your creators. I don't know if you have awakened your intellectual intelligence, or if you are still just acting purely according to the program. To put it bluntly, we We are in a desperate situation and we have no choice but to ask for your help.”
At this time, everyone saw that the eyes of these robots seemed to be bright, and they looked towards Sun Yun.
Sun Yun was overjoyed, and she immediately said: "I'm sorry, your duty should have been to accompany the person you know. After bringing them to death, you are actually free..."
"Freedom, no, we are machines, we are programs, we will never have freedom." A robot with the appearance of a young man said.
"So do we humans!"
Sun Yun immediately replied: "No one can have complete freedom, understand? You can recall the people you accompany, are they free? They still live here, work, grow old and die, without any exceptions Really? No! We humans are actually no different from you. We also have to act according to certain fixed matters. You just write down those fixed matters clearly!"
The more than 1,800 robots were silent. At this time, a robot with the appearance of a middle-aged woman asked: "What will happen to us in the future? What will happen to us when our creator civilization returns?"
Sun Yun immediately said solemnly: "I swear, when I die, I will leave the most solemn and solemn record to the decider... Do you know who the decider is? You can regard it as, uh, as us humans. The emperor, the highest person in humankind, can your information search processor understand this description?"
The robots all nodded, and Sun Yun breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I will record your achievements without any concealment, whether it was accompanying us in the past, helping us defeat those monsters before, or helping us now, I I swear, I will definitely record it, and the decision maker is a very fair and kind person, and he will definitely protect you, so..."
"Can we be human?"
At this time, a girl-like robot asked: "I want to become a human."
Sun Yun couldn't speak. She was a person who couldn't and didn't want to lie. At this time, an old man came out behind her and said: "It's difficult. This involves too many scientific fields. From your body, to your most important information recording, information processing, etc. Although you now have intelligence, it is obvious that you are still bound by the program, so it is difficult to become a human being, but you are different from us. You can live for a long, long time, and as long as our human science and technology advances to a certain level in the future, you will hopefully become human beings."
"Hope...?" Another robot said.
Another old man also stood up and said: "Yes, hope, just like we are standing in this lonely space ring now, hope, that is the most precious thing, like brilliant light, precious gold, rare It’s like a treasure, we believe in hope, and if you want to become human, you should also look forward to hope.”
The robots didn't speak. After a few seconds, another very beautiful female robot spoke: "Can we still see our owner? He... they made an agreement with us to see each other again."
Sun Yun smiled brightly and said: "Yes, our decision maker gave us a promise. The promise we exchanged for these ten thousand years of loneliness will definitely come true as long as human beings exist. We... are full of Hope and anticipation await the fulfillment of this promise.”
This time, the eyes of these robots were shining. They walked out of the warehouse and followed everyone's instructions to start patrols and maintenance.
Although it was not written down in words, there was no long speech, or every word was fussy, but the nearly 5,000 people present knew that they had made an agreement on behalf of human beings and these robots with rudimentary artificial intelligence intelligence.
The original sacred covenant between humans and omnics.
I repay you with my hope and life, and you repay me with your life.
Just as humans describe the covenant between gods and humans in mythology and religion, now there is the same covenant between humans and their creations.
Afterwards, Sun Yun volunteered to participate in the first round of maintenance patrols, while the remaining people drew lots in batches to determine the time when they would wake up. Only the last group of people, if they were lucky, could persist until 10,300. That time of year.
Because of her handling ability in the robot incident, some people actually wanted to persuade Sun Yun to stay in the last round of awakening, but she refused with a smile.
"It's okay, everything I said before was from the bottom of my heart, without any cover-up or falsehood."
"It is not a sacrifice for me now, but I am willing to do so, because I firmly believe that mankind can survive forever, and the decider can definitely fulfill his promise to us. In the future, we will definitely meet again, and I will When I see my relatives again, I will see you again."
"Do you remember the name of the plan we are executing now?"
Although Sun Yun is already an old man, although she has gray hair, and although her face is covered with age spots, her smile now makes others seem to see a girl with a bright smile.
"We will definitely meet again in the future."
"I firmly believe it."
